I’m notoriously bad with computers. It never fails that I get viruses all over my computer, even with Norton and trying to be vigilant about these types of things. So I’m at a point where I want to just start over. I can’t afford a whole new computer, and truth be told my current machine isn’t really that old. I just can’t justify getting a new one right now.
Option B: wipe this computer and reinstall Windows. Start fresh. I mean this plan is free after all, so I can definitely get behind this one. Problem: I have TONS of music and a good amount of pics on this computer. I’m not about to try and back all this shiz up on a DVD. Not to mention that all of my computer-savvy friends have drilled it into my head that DVDs are basically stupid.
So I’m sucking it up and buying this: A 2 TB external hard drive. 2 TB should last me forever right? And I *promise* I’ll regularly back up my stuff so that if when I get another virus, I can just wipe the laptop clean and start fresh. I’m totally stoked about my new purchase!!
